zxczcxGlobingo
This is a kinaesthetic form of bingo where each child starts off with a board of questions (9×9 grid). The first person to get the 9 cards (with questions on them) completed by 9 different people wins!
zxczcxGive me 5
Pupils are shown a category or topic. They have 30 seconds to write down up to 5 different answers and score 1 point for each correct answer plus a bonus of 1 point for any answer that is unique in your class (i.e. not suggested by anyone else).
zxczcxFirst letter, last letter
Give pupils a start word and in pairs or teams they have to find the next word in the list. It must start with the last letter of the previous word. Eg. Sheep à Panda à Anteater. To make it harder you could set the subject area or word type (ie. adjective).
zxczcxCountdown
Give 9 letters and get pupils to make as many words as they can. If it works for the topic you are teaching, hide a key word in amongst the letters and see if anyone gets it!
zxczcxCatchphrase
Key words (9) are placed in a 3×3 grid. Pupils describe as many words as possible on the board to their team mates in a minute to try and win. Behind the words is a catchphrase that there are bonus points for guessing!
